UFO Sighting in Hoover, AL – February 23, 2025
Time: Approximately 4:45 PM
Location: Hoover, AL
While out with my kids around 4:45 PM on Sunday, February 23rd, we were near Lake Crest Animal Clinic on John Hawkins Pkwy when we noticed a man gazing up at the sky. My son and I followed suit and spotted numerous black dots overhead. I quickly pulled over and managed to take some pictures. The cloud cover was quite high, and the objects seemed considerably large. One by one, they appeared to vanish above the clouds. Based on my estimate, they were at least a couple thousand feet up. Since I live nearby Bessemer Airport, I’m familiar with what planes look like at various altitudes. A military friend speculated that these might be drones equipped with safety cages, but the number of them was intriguing— I counted 17 in my first shot (which isn’t the clearest). The entire sighting lasted about three minutes. Be sure to zoom in for a closer look!
That sounds like a fascinating experience! It’s interesting that you were able to capture images of what appeared to be numerous objects in the sky. The fact that they were disappearing above the cloud cover adds a mysterious element to the sighting. Your military friend’s theory about drones is certainly plausible, especially given the increasing use of drones for various purposes. It does seem curious, though, to have so many in one area at once. Have you looked into any local news or reports to see if anyone else witnessed the same thing? Sometimes these sightings can lead to interesting discussions or even uncover other explanations. Thanks for sharing your experience!
